Real Smooth

by jesse-salgado

I watched a woman dance tonight But she didn't dance. Restricted by her lack of self confidence, She hid her true self. She was trapped on the dance floor. Her, and 7 other woman. The "Cha Cha Slide", her captor. I wonder, Does she even like to dance? She swallows her pride, She engages in this counterfeit dance, Just to acquire the approval of her pseudo peers. I watched as she didn't "cha cha real smooth". I watched her cease to exist. A shell of flesh propelled by instinct. She was just like everyone else, She was no one. A slave to her fake persona. A slave to the world.
